We're in the "feigning shock" stage of the climate disaster. Its where billions of people who've been being told about climate change for decades all pretend they had no idea. Exxon lobbiests are a useful distraction so no one has to think "well I was told this would happen when I was a kid and now I'm 50 and have voted against fixing it, it's happening".

The "feigning shock" is whenever any of these climate alarmists are told the majority of the population doesn't see a crisis and simply doesn't care a whole lot. That is what is revealed in this interview and is always met by feigned shock. Study after study reveals that most people don't care a whole lot, and yet always shock must be feigned whenever someone points out that they don't see a crisis.

You see apples, I see oranges, but we both agree no preventative action is going to be taken on climate change and that the (vast) majority are happy with that.

Fair?
